What do you see in a garden? Mine is plain and natural with rocks and herbs that I love. Comfrey is a plant that every one should have in their yard. Comfrey is called the Bone Knitted and Healer. A poultice of comfrey leaves will help any kind of injury. The tea or extract of comfrey poured into a wound will help heal and stop inflammation. I thinned my comfrey plants yesterday as they grow well in this Kansas climate.
Echinacea is one of my favorites. It not only looks good but after 3 years the root can be pulled and dried and used in tinctures. I also use the flowers and leaves in teas. There’s so much these plants can be used for, for animal health and ours. Strengthens the immune system and helping to keep our bodies free of viral infections.
The Mullein plants are getting their flowers and won’t last long. Pick the flowers and leaves for a wonderful healthful tea. Mullein is that tall skinny plant with large fussy leaves and the little yellow flowers grow in a tall spine. The story I read years ago tells how this plant was used in the Revolutionary War for soldiers who had respiratory problems. There are so many plants to harvest this time of year we’ll need to get busy.
I would love to talk, leave a comment.
